can romney win down there? >> i think romney can. i think mississippi could be a good playground for romney, quite frankly. it's a fairly new political environment for them in terms of, you know, the way their primary is set up. so you still have romney tied to the barbour clan. has the opportunity to use that network to get that vote out. but this is, you know, one of those situations where i think even if romney wins mississippi tonight and newt or santorum takes the other, it doesn't change really the dynamics in terms of that march towards 1,144 votes. the reality for romney remains the fact that give him all the outstanding winner-take-all state, the rest are proportional. he's not going to pull 50 to 60% of that vote. but as chuck has pointed out, that's not been the trend line here. so i think we're going to see a little more status quo ante coming out of tonight than a lot of people anticipate. >> i'm watching romney. you can't see this, michael. here's romney doing his local shaking hands. he reminds me of prince charles in

so that romney loses. meaning loses in the fall. santorum sees himself as the nominee in 2016 and he's playing a 2016 game. that's a tough accusation saying that rick santorum would rather barack obama win than have romney win because rick santorum sees himself not getting the nomination this time but being the candidate next time around. >> wayne is a smart guy. i don't agree with him that will rick is thinking it through with that great a foresight. i think rick is caught up in his own ego right now engaging in tactics that are minorly harmful to mitt romney but really destructive of rick santorum. he's not going to be a serious candidate in four years, buts will he's conducting himself in a way that is going to leave the republican electorate very angry with him. whatever future he has politically is going down the drain as we speak into what is it about mitt romney, here he has a successful illinois primary, he comes to washington, he gets not a full blessing but a partial blessing from jim demint and
